START ON NEW PROJECT
The first steps of the WPA project
of rock surfacing Lincoln avenue
was started Monday when the
shaping up of the road to receive
the rock was commenced.
This project has been pending for
some time and that it is now getting
under way will be most pleasing to
the residents of that section of the
city. For many years the hard sur
facing of this, one of the main
arteries into the city, has been dis
cussed, but the prohibitory cost of
the paving has kept it from being
carried out.
The rock surfacing should give a
good hard road and one that will be
appreciated by those from south and
east of the city who use this high
way in getting into the city.
CARD OF THANKS
We desire to take this opportun
ity of expressing to our many kind
ness and words of sympathy in our
bereavement. Especially do we wish
to thank those taking part in the
funeral services and for the beautiful
flowers. The Children and Grand
children of T. V. Vallery.
